Been working on a project (for at least the last couple of nights )

This script takes the mouse position and  displays it on screen as well as taking the colour of the pixel underneath the cursor and displaying that alongside it as both RGB and HEX.

I know this isn't an original concept to have a colour picker/grabber, but in terms of MP!L scripts, I've not seen this done so I thought I'd give it a "bash" lol

It includes a feature to "Pause" or "Freeze" the information so that the mouse can be freely moved without changing it. As moving the mouse would have to be moved over the button to pause it, all the information you want would be lost. I'm quite lucky that we now have the ability to use hotkeys. Pressing the WINKEY+SPACE will toggle whether or not the script is paused.



This will be available to download in the next few hours (I've got work and need to leave a few select people a copy to test for me).

Known "Bug": The script will not detect pixel colour properly when the mouse is hovering over a video (in Windows Media Player for example).
It will report back as being "R:0 G:0 B:1" or "000001"



EDIT: About the name... I just wanted something funnier than my usual ones

theres nothing to download yet...

perhaps i misread something, but you can pause it with a hotkey? and not actually clicking pause?
because you move the mouse to click it losing the hex #

That looks pretty handy, I'll look forward to giving it a try... in a few hours.

Released My testers were mysteriously offline when I got back I'm confident it's working up to a desired standard however.
